I fear that one day, perhaps soon, and perhaps under Barack Obama’s Presidency, that an attack on US soil will be made which will dwarf 9/11 both in destructiveness and brutality. And I predict that when it happens, many of the people who are now baying for the prosecution of Bush era officials will be demanding that they be protected — at all costs.”

If or, May God Forbid, when the above event comes to pass, the braying about “torture” and “sensitivity to Islam” will quickly be rendered irrelevant. Millions of Americans are already stocking up on arms and ammunition, so do the math. I daresay I wouldn’t want to be a Muslim, a lawyer, a judge, a Democratic politician, or a “community activist” on the day after a Super 9-11. If they think local law enforcement or the National Guard will automatically come riding to their rescue, well shucks, they may be in for a very rude surprise.
